Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1724

Upon seeing the stack of documents, Adler's jaw practically hit the floor. He pointed at the pile, struggling to get the words out, "W-what is all this?"

"These are from Ms. Sophie," Tricia explained with a polite nod. "She figured you and Ms. Jenna might get bored, so she thought you could take on today's workload."

Adler couldn't help but grind his teeth. "Sophie is just as cheeky as Colby! They're like two peas in a pod, those two!"

If they had known, they would have dodged the whole scene and avoided this paperwork mountain.

"Oh, come on, it's not so bad. Sophie's finally getting a well-deserved break, spending some quality time with Colby's folks. Isn't that sweet?" Jenna smiled, trying to ease Adler's annoyance.

Adler sighed, reminded of the trouble his father had stirred with other families. He nodded, albeit reluctantly. "Once I plow through this paperwork, I'm handing the company over to Sophie and Colby. Then I'll throw you a wedding that'll be just as grand as Colby's!"

"I like most of what you're saying, but... trying to outdo Colby and Sophie's extravagant wedding might be a bit of a stretch," Jenna chuckled, scratching her head.
